NURWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1815 X & FARMING AS IT IS, AND AS IT USED TO BE (Written Specially for The Bulletin.) There's a so-called joke going the rounds of the papers in their alleged “funny” columns which tells how The 0Old Farmer replied to The Woman Who Finds Fault With Prices: “Wal mum, ye see it's this way; we farmers nowadays hev to know the botanical name of evervthing wWe raise, and the entomological name of overy bug that eats it, and the phar- maceutical] name of every poison that kills the bugs:—and it comes high, mum."” This is certainly a rather feeble at- tempt at humor, but it suggests one or two things which are not at all humorous, but quite the reverse. For one, it suggests the tremendous change that has actually come in farming methods since the time when some of us old 'uns were small boys. I can remember when on thls par- ticular farm, all the level arable land followed a regular five-year rotation of corn or potatoes on sed; oats; clover; timothy two years; corn or potatoes again. At the same time the hillsides,—and it mattered little how steep they were—swung from rye to pasture and from pasture to rye, with an_occasional try at some buckwheat. The corn and potato land was man- ured on the old sward which was then turned under and harrowed with “A” drags till it was frequently pos- sible to get a hoe full of dirt without going more than two or three steps after it! But covering the seed was often quite a trick among the tough sods. When the crops came up they were “plowed out” between the rows with the lightest landslide plow avail- able, and then the separate hills hoed and weeded by hand. This was done twice by the best farmers and that ended it till harvesting time. Nobody had ever heard of a potato bug at that time. Nor do I seem to remember that we had any special trouble with any sort of insect. Once in a great while the governor would burn out @ stray nest of tent cater- pillars on some apple tree. Once he had to change his small onion bed because the maggots got intp it. Ar of course, there were striped bugs or the cocumbers. Also, I remember hearing about a neighbor whose corn crop was said to have been injured by cut-worms. But I personally, never saw a cut-worm while i was a boy. Nor did I ever dig a rotten po- tato tijl' I was over forty vears old either the early mor the late blight id I ever hear spoken of. Perhaps it was here, but, if so, it was not sufficiently serious with us to cause mention. Now, we can’t raise potatoes with- out fighting beetles from the time they prick ground till midsummer, and ing against blight and ing the seed to prevent scab. It's e constant fight to save corn and cabbages from the cut-worms. Like several others of my neighbors I've had to give up tryving to ra oats because of the prevalence of smut. When my old father first dug pota- toes on this same farm, he used to expect and plan for a bus from every thirteen hills. That was the basis on which he estimated _his planting. If he wanted a hundred bushels he planted thirteen hundred hills. And he usually got his hundred bushels of tubers,—sometimes a few less, sometimes a few more, but rea- sonably close to that. Now, with vastly higher fertilization, with in- comparably better fitting of the soil, with at least four times as much work spent in tillage to say nothing of bug fighting labor and expense, I don’t be- }:;fi'e I average a pgck from thirteen 5. In my case, it's the bugs that make most of the difference. 1 don’t care how prompt and energetic a farmer may be in epraying, the bugs hurt the potato tops, more or less. Further- more, with all due respect to the scientific gents, the deadly aresenical poisons we have to use to kill the bugs injure the vines to some extent. ‘That is, they do with me. The only man in my neighborhood who continues to approach the old-fashioned yields is a chap who plants only half an acre, who has a 'big family of children, who never poisons or sprays his vines, but supplies each youngster with a pan and an old whisk any pays a nickel Poultry you want a covering that will summer heat; a roofing that or Rofing ~ Pronounced “RU"as in RUBY, TE for each teacup full of bugs they de- liver to him. But the farmer doesn’t have pota- to bugs alone to fight He has to fight tent caterpillars which, in my locality, are yearly increasing in numbers and damage; he has to fight i codling moths and gypsy moths and San Jose scale and about 'steen other pests on his trees; he has to fight cut- worms and chinch bugs and white grubs and maggots; he has to fight striped beetles and stink bugs and red ants and flea beetles and a lot more on his garden crops; he has to keep his eve peeled all the time for some blight or smut or mildew or anthracnose on general crops; hardly a year passes that he isn't faced by some new insect or fungus problem. If he is going to save his harvest he has got to know the habits and char- acters of all these numerous enemies, and know what special trick ta turn in order to beat them. Instead of the comparatively sim- ple and reasonably certain work it used to be in our fathers’ days farm- ing has become one of the most com- plicated and bepuzzling problems that the wit of man is confronted with. I don’t wonder that so many farmers fail of success. I wonder that so many menage to make a live of it! It is not true that farm products are dear in price. - Considering all ngs, it is a matter for intelligent to feel surprise that they run &0 cheap. You complain that flour is “way up”. It certainly is higher than it has been, but how about potatoes? They are selling in my inity for than it costs to raise them and store them. And reports indicate that there are at least 40,000,000 bush- urplus still stored away in the country which the market can’t won't take at any price. We easterners have got into the idea that we can’t raise cereals in compe- tition with the west. Now that the war has caused an unusual demand for western grains we are helpless to protect ourselves, and have to pay or go without. But even in the case of wheat and corn, E involved in their production. ad of being unduly high in price are even vet cheaper, in_propor- n, than the average run of manu- ured goods. And pay less profit, in proportion, to their producers. The simple truth is that people have been accustomed for so long to get their meats and their grains and their vegetables for less than they were actually worth, i. e. for less than their production cost h a fair profit add- ed, that when s begin to i wares a and charge 1t would be wiser for our consumer friends to look the facts square in the face, and recognize that the day of has passed. The in- ps is steadily bug and blight iected with the work are consta: greater. The demand for ligence and keener fore- part of farm producers is 3 more t has got to have 1 s, not necessarily to Improve his condition, but to keep even with his expenses. < 9 o Do you suppose that 879,499 acres of farm land were abandoned in New England between 1900 and 1910 just for a whim, and while the owners were making wages on them? Not much! Yet the United States census shows that there were 879,499 acres less improved farm land in cultivation in New England in 1910 than in 1900. Those are the figures given to the us takers by the farmers them- gelves. In New:England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania 9,809,- 834 acres less of improved farm lands tivation in 1910 than in 1900! said to be greater than the combined area of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Now no farmer .gives up working land which he is making money on. If he dies and such land comes in to the market it is taken by some one else. The reason for this decrease was solely that it didn’t pay to work the b "v il nm.m’;’.‘M I our House keep out the winter cold and will not crack, run, rot, warp, rust or leak.
